Headed down to the Lower Rio Grande Valley for a staff meeting with the other urban wildlife biologists. Had such a nice time walking around Estero Llano Grande State Park before everyone got together. Temps were in the 80's today -- although winds were about 20 mph from the south...

Young Cave Swallows in a nest in a natural cave instead of a culvert. I am posting scans of some old, marginal 35 mm slides. gcwarbler had retained many boxes of some of my culled slides from 20-30 years ago. I have enough to keep me busy for a while with scanning, etc. (thanks Chuckâ¦.I think!). These will all be of records I had not posted to iNat previously. There has been considerable color shift in many of these slides over the years, unfortunately. Sorry for the marginal/poor quality of most of these but they are all I have.

presumably very pale juv.-like birds are SY at this time of year. However, I do not see this acknowledged in the field guide literature,

Working on nests under I-10. Note buffy throat and darker forehead patch than Cliff Swallow and different type of nest. There were at least 75 Cave Swallow nests under construction under this overpass.

Cave Swallows are now regular nesters in this area. This was one of about 8 young Cave Swallows being fed by adults. Note the pale rump, buffy throat and chestnut forehead of this youngster.
